qtnfmac: assign each wiphy to its own virtual platform device
Quantenna Pearl device exposes multiple (up to 3) radio interfaces under single PCIe function. So far all the wiphy devices were attached to the same pcie device. As a result, all different wireless network devices were reported under the same sysfs directory for pcie device, e.g.: $ ls /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/net/ wlan0 wlan1 It turns out that such behavior may confuse various users of wireless subsystem. For instance, it turned out to be the case for: - Linux init systems, e.g. for renaming based on parent device - OpenWRT configuration scripts Suggested solution is to add an intermediate virtual platform device for each radio interface.
